History



Early years[1]


Vermont were formed in late 1919 and played their first season in 1920 in the Reporter District FL defeating Warrandyte in their first game. The club played its first season in red and blue but from 1921 they played in purple and gold, and have not changed from that colour scheme since.


Vermont did not win any premierships in the Reporter District FL, and with a number of other clubs were foundation members of the Ringwood District FL in 1927. The lack of premiership success continued and the club was forced by the Great Depression to spend the years 1932 to 1934 as a merged entity with Mitcham. Upon separation in 1935, Vermont went into recess for the season due to internal arguments preventing an application for affiliation.


In 1936, Vermont joined the Federal FL for a season and had appointed former Collingwood champion Charlie Pannam as coach. The club wasn't successful in the Federal league and in 1937 they joined the East Suburban FL. But the following year they fielded an Under 21 team in the Ringwood District FL. This lasted for two years only as World War II started to bite and Vermont went into recess until 1948.



After the war[2]


It is not known where Vermont played in 1948 or 1949, but in 1950 they rejoined the East Suburban FL and played in the B Grade competition. In 1955 the senior clubs played in one grade to cover for Mitcham and Ringwood's move to the Croydon Ferntree Gully FL, and this was a boost for the club as they made the grand final – and defeated Auburn in the decider to win their first ever premiership. The bottom then dropped out leading to a demotion back to B Grade for the 1958 season. The Eagles bounced back to win the B Grade premiership over East Burwood, but they were not promoted as they then decided to follow Mitcham and Ringwood to the Croydon Ferntree Gully league.



To the present day


Vermont started in the competition's first division and has never left Division 1 in their time in the competition. They built up and made the finals for the first time in the league in 1962 – the same year the CFTGFL changed its name to the Eastern Districts FL. They made the grand final the following year but they were defeated by East Burwood. This led to a few lean years until 1969, when Vermont picked up its third premiership defeating Blackburn. This was followed by another premiership in 1971 over Mitcham. From 1969 to 1974 the Eagles only missed the finals once, before another lean period.


Vermont returned to the finals in 1980 and lost the grand final to Mitcham. This was the start of an incredible period for the Eagles. From 1980 to 2009, Vermont only missed the finals in 1984 and 1987. From 1988 to 2001 Vermont only missed the grand final in 1992. The Eagles won the premiership in 1982, 1983 and 1986 before picking up four in a row from 1988 to 1991. During this period Vermont had an unbroken run of 61 wins. From 1993 to 1995 they won three more premierships before losing to Donvale in 1996. They then won again in 1997, 1998 and 2001. After three seasons not making the grand final, Vermont won another three premierships in a row from 2005 to 2007 and then their most recent premiership in 2009.


In 2010 and 2011 Vermont didn't make the finals, the first time they had missed the finals two years in a row since 1979. But they returned in 2012 losing the grand final to Balwyn. Then again in 2016 losing to Balwyn by 12 points, 10.8.68 to 12.8.80.

Quarantine

Image
For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy...
